BECOMING A POSSIBILITY THINKER BY SEGUN OYEDEPO

After the creation by God, in the beginning, the bible tells us that God used six (6) days to work the whole process of creating heaven, earth, and every other thing therein. As at that time, on the 7th day, we were told he rested.

 

History made us understand that there were a garden and a man that was managing the affairs of the garden. Read the Bible from Genesis chapter 1 vs 1 to know more about how God created the heaven and the earth. That is not the crux of the matter.

 

Everything we see today, inventions, platforms, orientation, and or we have a problem solved, it is as a result of “Possibility thinking”. After God created the world within six (6) days, I think what God actually did on the 7th day was to rest and release to man the power to create things that will make life easier for all his creatures. Today the world is gladly benefiting from Possibility Thinking.

 

 

 

CONTEXT REVIEW

 

POSSIBILITY: A thing possible; that which may take place or come into being.

 

THINKING: This is derived from THINK; To communicate to oneself in one's mind, to try to find a solution to a problem.

 

POSSIBILITY THINKING; It is all about believing.

 

It is a general persuasion of the mind i.e giving your mind and your brain an assignment.

 

It is an assurance or being sure of the things you are expecting or things you are hoping for.

 

The ability to perceive as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.

  

 

 

PARTS OF THE BODY THAT AID POSSIBILITY THINKING

 

* Mind
* Brain

PURPOSE OF THE MIND

 

Thinking is the most predominant activity or function of the mind. It is the basic tool for creativity, it is the machinery through which what has been obtained from learning and inspiration is processed to understanding.

"Mind is the centre of life"

 

"Mind is the seat of consciousness, thought,

volition, feeling, attention and concentration"

 

In Proverbs 4:23 the bible says - _Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it._ NIV (New International Version). I will rephrase it for you to suit the context herein, _Above all else, guard your mind with all your strength for everything you did in the past, everything you are doing presently and all you will do in the future depends on it_ 

 

"The matter of the mind is the heart of the matter"

 

My earnest plea to you is this, you can lose everything in this life, your home, source of livelihood, loved ones and every other thing that gives you joy and reasons to live but make sure you don't lose your mind. Again, I said do not lose your mind.

“Mind and good health is all you need to

come back to life after any downturn at any point in time.”

HOW TO BECOME A POSSIBILITY THINKER

 

Becoming a positive minded person should be everyone's dream. Without that no one can achieve anything in life. 

 

There is no reward without sacrifice, anyone desiring to be a possibility thinker must be ready to pay his or her due. Below are the road maps to become a possibility thinker;

 

Learning - this means knowledge obtained by study.

 

To be a possibility thinker, you must be ready to submit yourself to loads of studies. Read books and learn from people behind, beside and ahead of you. 

  

Understanding - the ability to understand something; comprehension. To the meaning or importance of a subject. 

 

Meditation aids understanding, try to meditate on a particular thought that comes to your mind.

 

Keep an open mind - Release yourself to things that interest you and the ones that don't interest you, be open to all things. To be a possibility thinker you must keep an open mind every second of your life. 

 

Mind mapping - This is a process that aid thinking and it simply means evaluation.

 

Process of mind mapping: Draw a circle and write whatever you are thinking about inside the circle and begin to think about it. Whatever thought that crosses your mind at that point, draw an arrow from the circle and write it down.

Who are you, problem solver or problem creator?

 

Robert Kiyosaki in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, said _The moment you said I can't afford it, your brain stops working. By asking the question of how can I afford it, your brain is put to work._

 

The same thing applies to possibility thinkers too; the moment you say "I can't do it" your brain stops working and nothing positive will come to your head.

Robert also said in the same book; Proper physical exercise increases your chances for health. Proper mental exercise increases your chances for wealth. Laziness decreases both health and wealth.

 

Those Possibility thinkers that the world is proud of today are not enough, the world needs you. You can do it, belief in yourself. Start working on those ideas they worth your while.

 

The bible says in Luke 1:37, "For nothing will be impossible with God.” ESV (English Standard Version) and Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" ESV.
